RDIAS spring puked today. Anyone have experience installing a new one?

My spring finally puked in my JCB RDIAS. Does anyone have experience swapping one out? I've never done it and since M60Joe is officially retired, I'm grasping at straws here. I see a lot of different opinions. If someone has experience with their own DIAS, I'd be greatly appreciative of your help.

if you spend ANY time reading the posts here on sturm you will see an offer for new trips and springs . a gent has offered them for the past few months and all the reports have been GOOD so cruise the PARTS  THREAD and reach out to him.

Thanks. No, I don’t spend a lot of time reading everything on sturm. But I appreciate the help nonetheless.

Retractable ball point pen "clicker" spring. I built a couple back the 90s for post sample guns, and the pen springs worked fine. Otherwise, ACE hardware has a nice selection of springs in the bulk stuff isle.

I have had my JCB RDIAS since June of 1995 and replaced the spring several times with a ball point clicker spring cut to length. Works great! Basically free for the taking!
